Detailed Description

TrakMotive CH-8060 is a front CV axle shaft for Dodge Dakota trucks from 1987 through 1990. It is listed for both front right and front left positions, making it a direct replacement option for service work on the front driveline. The axle uses a flange-style inboard connection, a conventional outboard joint, and a neoprene boot to help protect the joint assembly during normal operation. The included axle nut uses an M22 x 1.5 thread with a hex head and cotter pin locking style. This part number, CH-8060, is a new unit and does not include an ABS tone ring.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-3023 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left or front right position before ordering and confirm axle nut thread size, spline count, and compressed length against the removed part. Inspect the hub, seals, and surrounding suspension components during installation, and torque the axle nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. Because this axle is listed without an ABS tone ring, confirm the vehicle’s brake and sensor setup before installation on any ABS-equipped application.
